Shared text line

My company has a need for outside users (non Ring Central numbers) to text a common number as a "help" line to speak with a technician. The problem I have is I need this to be setup similar to a shared inbox. Meaning, a text comes in, a number of defined technicians see it, first available responds. I would like the response to come from the "help line" number, not the individual number of the tech who responded.

Is this possible?

We don't have this kind of setup available for SMS. The operator extension is the only user who can text from the main number.

Hi Frederick, thank you for expressing interest in this feature. Our product team has it on their roadmap, and it was initially scheduled for release in Q2. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, its launch has been postponed to Q4.
